Suffolk: 19 mosquito samples test positive for West Nile

The Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control's Mosquito Control Section, along with the Delaware Division of Public Health Laboratory and the Department of Agriculture, detected the West Nile earlier this month along the Delaware River in the Wilmington area and again, in west-central Kent County.

The positive sample was found in a pool of mosquitoes tested by the Kent County Health Department in the Grand Rapids zip code of 49507, according to a news release from the department.

One human case was reported.

"With confirmation that West Nile virus is in the community, everyone needs to follow the recommendations for protecting yourself from mosquito bites", said Adi Pour, the county's health director.
